Hlire Local Worker s First, Union Leader Teils Region Regional contracts are being let to firms from the Toronto area resulting in unemployment among equally qualified workers within the Region of Durham, William Fairservice .charged last Wednesday. Fairservice, business manager of the J.aborers International Union of North America, Local 597, -told regional council he would like ta see a clause mncluded in the region's specifications for tenders requiring local help ta be hired. At present,-there is merely a request not a condition in the list of specfications stating local help should be hired wherever possible. Mr. Fairservice said right now there are two outside contractors employed in the Oshawa and Courtice area. They're the ones we 're objecting to most strongly, he said. Fairservice said the unemployment rate in his 500 to 600 member local is about 60 per cent. These men are qualified to do work in the region that is now being done by outside workers, he argued. "They- don't appreciate being on welfare and;not being given a shot at doing any of the work. Some of these outside workmen leave a lot to be desired, Fairservice added. As the situation is now, he told counillors, laborers in Durham Region are losing about 700 jobs a year ta outside workers. To date, $3 million in jobs have been awarded in the Newcastle- Oshawa-Whitby area to workers who do not live in the Region. Mr. Fairservice stressed he in Durham whether they be union or not. " Ajax Mayor Clark Mason sai he would like to see some documentation to eo along with Mr. Fairservice s cl4ims. "I'd like something conerete to deal with. " Fairservice said this could be provided. The matter was referred to the public works committee for further investigation and a recommendation. Mr. Fairservice was informed he will be invited ta attend a comnmittee meeting to provide speêific documentation. Wesleyville There was something at Welcome United Church on Sunday morning when a joint choir of juniors and seniors led the congregational singing and as an anthem, sang the joyful, "Hosanna, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord." Their blended voices sang the Hosannas with enthusiasm, surely. reminis- cent of the first Palm Sunday. For the children Rev. Kennedy told the story and showed them the pîcture of the donkey with the cross. His message for the morning was a review of the events of the week leading to Easter. For one thing this revealed how a minor figure may have his name remembered in history just because of his association with another, as in the case of Pilate. He concluded with the words, "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve". The chairman of the outreach committee, Mr. T. Wilson reported on the work being done and showed a chart of distribution of funds which are about evenly divided between outreach work of the church and what is required to fulfill ahl the needs of the church. The commîttee urges the members to spread their contributions regularly rather than large donations at the end of the year, in the interests of practical finance. Mr. Wilson had just arrived from a special service held at Trinity College school in honor of Bishop Brent whose life had been commemorate recently with a plaque at Newcastle where he was born. Ushers for the morning service were Messers Glen Thompson, Ron Brimmacombe,,Allin Osborne and Clarence Nichols.

Winning entries will be exhibited by the National Museum of Natural Sciences. "lWe are again most pleased to support the Canadian Wi life Federation and its Nation- al Wildlife Week program," Natural Resources Minister James A.C. Auld said today. "The material we are send- congregation is looking f or- ward to next weekend's special services, the good Friday service at Welcome at nîght and the Easter sunrise service led by CGIT. Mrs. Phyllis Symons drove to Lindsay on Tuesday, Aprîl 3rd for the afternoon and evening session of the UCW conference held there. She was accompanied by Mes- dames Jean Payne, Hazel Tufford, Orald Ford and E. Barrowclough. Besides hear- ing the work of the UCW's in the, conference it was an opportunîty of meeting and hearing the moderator of the church. Dr. George M. Tuttle. Ladies quilted a very special quilt at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. Wilson last week. t was patchwork of velvet with each piece outlîn- ed in embroidery stitches. Ladies were pleased to have Bishop and Mrs.,Marsh with them for several days. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Austin~ returned home last week from a trip to the Holy Land and found it one of great attrac- tion, perhaps of more interest than any of the many they have had in different parts of the world. Last week's storms caused much inconvenience when some farmers had to tie down roofs on barn buildings. Hydro power -was off in some areas for a couple of hours, damage was done to some aerials and rose arbours flipped over, but nothing really serious. Visit- ors driving here from Win- chester on Wednesday after- noon found great difficulty in driving. snow clung to high- way sigos and it was neces- sary to stop and wipe off to be sure they had not gone beyond their destination.

Bowmanville's Energy Fair Promises to Be lnteresting The Bowmanville Energy Fair, scheduled for April 21st at the Durham Christian High School, again promises to focusý local interest on the challenges of the next two decades and beyond. With energy sources now in jeopardy through disputes at home and social. upheavals abroad, just what plans should individual citizens make for tomorrow? Can we solve these problems as individuals or will we act collectively? 0f course, there will be demonstrations of new re- cycling methods, displays of efficient wood-burning stoves and information on solar and the biomass alternatives. But, this year an added interest will centre about forums and discussions of pertinent social concern. While the roster of speakers is flot yet complete, possibly some examples will point up the direction which the discourse will take: Prof. R. C. Paehlke of Trent University's Dept. of Environ- mental and Resource Studies will discuss "Jobs and Energy"; Drs. Piter Miedema will deal with the theme of "This Moxern Madness" as seen through the eyes of a theologian; and Warren Lowes will probe "The Social operate under family direc- tion. Ohio-born, Jack Miner (1865-1944) came to Kingsville with his family when he was 13. As a young man, gradually established a haven for ducks and geese until it became widely known, and was a pioneer in the banding of birds to establish their migration patterns. National Wildlife Week was established in 1947 by unani- mous vote of the Canadian parliament to dedicate a special week as a reminder to Canadians of the inifinite value of wildlife. The week always contains April 10, Jack Miner's birthdate. TIRE ~ao 299 DEAN AVE. OSHAWA 576-1220 Chargex Implications of a Conserver Society." Whether or not we can agree with all that is said, we are assured that some new points, of view will be advanced and our thought processes will be stimulated. And that, in itself, is a form of energy flow.
